Re: Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005 Installation CD/DV

Yes, I understand exactly what you're saying. However, to get a "universal"
image for all the Tablet PCs you need to apply a different image than that
which is furnished by the OEM - one which is not specific to the Tablet
itself or licensed to a single machine. You cannot change the image sent by
Toshiba, in this case, because it belongs solely to each of the machines for
which you have the individual PID label attached on the bottom of the
computer. This is where the volume license would come in, and you would
need to custom build the driver package, etc. Your Microsoft representative
will be able to assist you.
